With the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, many small and medium-sized manufacturers are beginning to explore opportunities to increase market share outside of the U.S.

This industry has been a big part of the U.S. economy for decades, and has provided well paying jobs for a variety of skill levels. The industry’s position is now challenged by global competition, changes in technology, and worldwide economic conditions. To maintain this important sector of the U.S. economy, we strive to provide assistance to increase the industry’s competitiveness.

On Thursday, April 11, 2013, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Global Design & Construction Team is hosting a FREE webinar to promote the many opportunities for U.S. design and building construction firms in the emerging market of Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan's construction sector is expected to further improve in 2013-14, with residential, office, commercial and multi-functional projects developing in Astana, Almaty and Atyrau. In addition, large infrastructure and industrial projects are planned for Western Kazakhstan. Construction materials used in Kazakhstan are predominantly imported and, as a result, there are many opportunities for U.S. firms to get involved in this attractive market.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, April 11, 2013, at 11 AM Eastern Time, 8 AM Pacific Time. This webinar will provide:
•A briefing by the U.S. Commercial Service on U.S. best prospects in Kazakhstan;
